Find the value of k if y - 1 is a factor of y3 + 4y2 + ky - 6

A.

-6

B.

-4

C.

O

D.

1

Correct Answer: 1

Explanation

if y - 1 is a factor of y3 + 4y2 + ky - 6, then f(1) = (1)3 + 4(1)2 + k(1) - 6 = 0 (factor theorem) 1 + 4 + k - 6 = 0 5 - 6 + k = 0 -1 + k = 0 k = 1

if y - 1 is a factor of y3 + 4y2 + ky - 6, then f(1) = (1)3 + 4(1)2 + k(1) - 6 = 0 (factor theorem) 1 + 4 + k - 6 = 0 5 - 6 + k = 0 -1 + k = 0 k = 1
